Rhubarb Raspberry Pie


Not too tart but not too sweet, this beautiful pie is the herald of summertime! Serve with vanilla ice cream to balance the tartness of the rhubarb. I prefer this to strawberry-rhubarb pie because i do not like the texture of cooked strawberries. You can use your favorite pie crust in this recipe.

Steps


Make pie crust for two-crust pie according to your favorite recipe.
Refrigerate pie dough until ready to use.
For filling: cut enough rhubarb crosswise into 1 / 2-inch slices to measure 4 cups.
In a 3-quart kettle stir together 3 cups rhubarb , 1 cup sugar , and cinnamon and cook over moderate heat , stirring constantly , until sugar is melted , about 6 minutes.
In a small bowl stir together cornstarch and lemon juice.
Add cornstarch mixture to rhubarb mixture and boil , stirring constantly , until rhubarb is thickened , about 5 minutes , and transfer mixture to a bowl.
Cool mixture to room temperature , about 30 minutes.
Fold raspberries and remaining cup rhubarb into mixture until just combined.
Chill rhubarb filling , covered , at least 30 minutes , or until cold.
Preheat oven to 425f.
In a small bowl whisk together egg and milk to make an egg wash.
Fit 11-inch round of dough into a 9-inch glass pie plate and trim , leaving a 1 / 2-inch overhang.
